My plan is to order the same parts Bart did in his writeup. While waiting on parts I will be soing some serious cleaning in the engine bay and rust removal. I noticed the beginnings of rust under where the radiator sits. That should keep me busy for a week or so!

I have a feeling that whether everyone knows it, or not, most of us have rust under where the radiator sits. I don't really have any rust on my VX anywhere, but when I was doing my timing belt swap I noticed rust right where you're talking about. I also noticed that the back side of my front skid plate (right under the radiator mount) was also rusty. Must be something about how the water drains and pools right in that area.
